Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best Care Ever
Dr. McCleary listened to my issue and spent time explaining all of the treatment options and how they would help me. He went over and above making sure I had all the supplies I needed and prescribed medication to help with my discomfort. I could not be happier!!

Easy to navigate
Went to the walk in clinic on a Monday morning with my son’s foot injury. The longest part of the wait was waiting for insurance verification which I truly appreciated so I wasn’t blind sided. Doctor was thorough and informative. My son is autistic and he worked well explaining to him and me. He helped with his work so that he could get a break if soreness sets in. Staff was helpful and efficient! In and out in under 90 minutes

What a gem
Over the course of 6 weeks, I had 3 appointments for a broken metatarsal. Each time, the doctor was kind, caring and so professional. He answered every question I had and took the time to make sure I had all the information I needed. The ease of a walk in orthopedic clinic was a lifesaver. I wholeheartedly recommend both Dr. McCleary and the clinic.

He was attentive and listened to my issues. He quickly ordered X-rays of back and knee. They showed nothing severe. He ordered physical therapy. I was pleased with his care!

Wonderful!!
Dr. McCleary saw me yesterday for hip pain that I feared was going to lead to a replacement. He quickly diagnosed the problem as a tendon issue and offered suggestions on treatment. He was quick and thorough and explained every aspect of what had gone wrong. I would go back to him any day.

Doctor that listens!
I had an emergency issue years ago and happened to see Dr. McCleary. He was a great listener and asked very specific questions to pinpoint my issue. He has become my first choice whenever I have knee or hip problems and have referred my husband and friends to him. Everyone always thanks me after their visit. Great doctor that always helps me recover.

Although I was a walkin with no appointment, I was quickly ushered into a room, xrays taken and seen by Dr. McClerary who explained my injury in a way I could understand and recommended treatment. It's 2 days later and the pain is almost none existant.
